ONTD Original: Top 5 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Continuity/Inconsistency Errors

[ummnothx]

Greetings, ONTD.
Welcome to the 12th installment of the ONTD Original Series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Today, I'm doing an installment on the top five inconsistencies in the series that just drove me nuts. Why five? Because these are the only five I could think of that just seemed to carry on and on and on...

the vampire breath thing - yeah. spike choking out dru made no sense. and angel being drowned on his show all summer was so dumb

[ummnothx]

I love your points! <3
I felt like the explanation that Buffy being brought back though and having that significant of an impact made zero sense...Buffy wasn't "the slayer" technically, because Faith was...so why was Buffy the big deal? Idk to me it just didn't make sense.

I agree with you SO MUCH on the Glory portal thing!!! lol.

[fromyourashes]

because they hated faith, that's all lol.

i really wanna know where tf that dragon went. is it still living somewhere in california? is it snacking on random californians? does it have a little cave of its own? where is it??

Well to be fair Faith was in prison for a bit (Season 4-7) so she wasn't out there doing anything. Season 5 & 6 she was locked up and broke out during Season 7.

the breath thing was sooooo ridiculous lmao

with the potentials becoming slayers how does the dying work. lol. like is it just exponential slayers forever

it's been too long for me to remember the details but there was also a lot of shit that came up as twists for episodes that sort of changed the canon and then were never brought up again like the praying mantis people & eggs and some of the demon/vamp history was so inconsistent

Op, idk if you're taking suggestions about posts but you should do Cordelia's best moments <3

The Xander part...hahahahahahaha
I'm dying.
I love this comment. <3

The Xander part is depressingly realistic. Too many friend groups have that one person that you just don't understand why they're there because they SUCK but the group never gets rid of them.

Your first point reminded me:

I'm sure they said a few times (maybe on Angel, idr) that to become a vampire a person has to drink the blood of the vampire that bit them. That doesn't seem to be the case at all for most of the show(s) though; instead it seems like being bitten by a vampire equals automatic turning.
